Okay to test outside the context of the workout?

Hello friends,

I have a question about testing a PE outside the context of the workout.  Specifically, I am fairly confident I can test at 5x15 solid pushups.  However, when I do pushups in the context of the workout, I am consistently tired from having just finished shoulder shrugs, which keeps me from hitting 5x15. 

My question is, is it okay te test a PE at the start of the workout, or perhaps on a day that isn't even a workout day?

Afaik, it is perfectly ok to change the order of exercises in a workout.

Ideally you want to be able to show mastery in a workout day, better if it's in F7. In the other hand for what I've read in the forum, It's valid to put the PE in the start of the workout to maximize your chance to hit mastery.

No problem here.

However OP, if shoulder shrugs take that much out of you it may be worth increasing your work capacity by working towards mastery as it currently stands

There is no problem mixing the order of the exercises.
